About the Book
Can the all-powerful be undone by His own power?
What begins as a simple riddle — Can God create a stone so heavy He cannot lift it? — quickly becomes something far deeper. In The Omnipotence Paradox, Nathaniel Jones examines one of theology’s most enduring questions through logic, language, infinity, faith, and the limits of human thought.
This book argues that the paradox does not defeat divine power. It defeats a careless definition of power.
Written as the first volume in Studies in Divine Paradox, this work asks whether omnipotence means the ability to do absolutely anything, even contradiction, or whether true power must remain coherent. Along the way, it distinguishes mystery from contradiction, infinite power from mere bigness, and divine strength from chaos.
Reflective, direct, and accessible, The Omnipotence Paradox invites readers to slow down before one of theology’s sharpest questions. What first appears to be a clever riddle becomes a mirror, revealing not only the limits of our definitions, but the weight of the words we use when we speak of God.
